🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Avocado Cream

1. Scoop avocado flesh into a blender or food processor.

2. Add:

   • Condensed milk

   • Cream

   • Lemon/lime juice

   • Pinch of salt

3. Blend until smooth, thick, and creamy.

   • Texture should be like soft ice cream.

4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

5. Chill in the fridge while preparing other layers.

2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Layer

1. In a bowl, whisk together:

   • Cream

   • Condensed milk

   • Cream cheese (if using)

2. Whisk until slightly thick but still pourable.

   • Do not overwhip.

3️⃣ Prepare the Crunch

1. Crush graham crackers finely (some texture is good).

2. Mix with melted butter if using.

   • This helps it stay crunchy and flavorful.

🧁 Assemble the Cups (Like the Photo)

Layer in clear cups or glasses:

4. Fourth layer: Avocado cream again

5. Repeat layers if cup is tall

6. Top with:

   • Avocado cubes

   • Cream swirl

   • Graham crumbs

   • Condensed milk drizzle

✨ Swirl the top gently with a spoon for that marbled green-and-white look.

❄️ Chill & Serve

• Chill for 30–60 minutes for best texture

• Serve cold

• Shelf life: 24 hours refrigerated (fresh avocado is best)

💡 Pro Tips

• Use very ripe avocados—they should mash easily.

• If too thick: add milk 1 tbsp at a time.

• If too thin: chill longer or add more avocado.

• For brighter green color: don’t skip citrus juice.
